Album Designs for Emma Lang

Front Cover Research To find out the dimensions of the album artwork, I googled it to make sure that I was making it to the correct size. Now with the dimensions I am going to start to produce the album artwork for my artist Emma Lang. To create the artwork I am going to use Photoshop, and put the required dimensions into the software to make sure that I am going to be making it correctly.

Album Cover Final Designs

Design One

To get the cover to look like this I:

• changed the picture brightness


• the contrast of the image


• picked out the pinkness of the lights


• found an appropriate font for 'Emma Lang'


• separated the top and bottom from the image with a block of colour


• I then went on to chose a font for the name of the album (I couldn't quite come to a decision on the font so I went for a mixture of all different fonts) to give this effect\/ but with my own twist


• 


• to make the album title look more faded, i placed the text behind the block of colour and made it so that it was partly transparent to be in-keeping with the rest of the album art

Design Two

To get the album cover like this I:

• I used the original image from the previous design


• I just changed the contrast and levels of light within the image


• put a pink twinge within it


• I again used the two colour borders


• However for the top border I added rose petals underneath the colour and added a more defined black line underneath the row of rose petals


• the bottom right hand corner is where the artist name is and album title


• the artist name is all in capitals and very clear and pronounced compared to the album name


• the album name is a slanted font which I just felt looked good in comparison with the capital nature of the previous one

Back of the Album Cover

To get the back of the album cover like this I:

• I got the dimension for the cover and set the page up accordingly


• I then used a picture that i took of a flower


• Made the image into greyscale


• Then I copied the code that I used on the front cover, of the cut up magazine styled font


• I made up some of the song names


• I finished it off by making the spine realistic as well with the conventions of having the artist name and album name on it

Back Cover 2

To get the back of the album like this I:

• First put the right dimensions into photoshop software


• I then picked a photo that I felt was suitable


• i changed the colour to make it so that the writing would stick out more


• i also added a barcode


• i then put the production company name onto it


• I added the song list for the album incorporating the font style which i used on the previous album cover


• i tried to keep the album colourings the same so that they would all match up


• i again did the spine with the artist name and album to follow conventions of album covers
